Overhaul of rules for legal migrants
South Wales Evening Post
|November 21, 2025
THE Home Secretary has said that long-term settlement for migrants in the UK is a “privilege” that must be earned, as she set out details to end automatic status after five years.
-
Shabana Mahmood announced a shakeup of rules for legal migration just days after announcing reforms to the asylum system which drew criticism from Labour colleagues.
The plan for “earned” settlement and a doubling of the wait time before being eligible for long-term status was first announced under the UK Government's immigration white paper in May, and is aimed at reducing the number of people coming to the UK.
The move comes as it is estimated 1.6 million people will settle in the UK between 2026 and 2030, Ms Mahmood said, with a peak of 450,000 in 2028.
